[tayrone2001]

The word is VIRGINE not vergine ....

[codonauta]

@tayrone2001 No. It is Vergine. Take a look around about the name.

[atistirmafr]

Is this man Bryn Terfel? In 3:33...

[codonauta]

@atistirmafr Yes. There are very talented musicians in this performing, in the beggining of their career.

El Barroco, música divina, sólo podía tener un inicio tan majestuoso como éste. Monteverdi, padre celestial de esos otros demiurgos llamados Bach, Hendel y Vivaldi.

[gesualdolistener]

do you really mean that?

this was a television- or videoproduction, so it's not the exact acoustics of the church, but hello, this is exactly the place, for which these psalms have been written!

What you're saying is, that monteverdi wrote music for a place, that it shouldn't be performed in? do you think he was a moron? i guess, one shouldn't perform bachcantatas in leipzig's thomaskirche too? if the acoustic is too big, it's a problem with the performance and the tempo, not with the location!

[apostatdurock]

Pardon codonauta.

[apostatdurock]

Merveilleuse version merci caudonoto .

[waeman]

the best thing I like in this performance is that they sing from memory !

@codonauta

Actually this matter, as with most issues surrounding the Vespers, is a little more complicated than it looks; on the EMI Classics and Harmonia Mundi recordings it is spelt “vergine” however, the Novello edition spells it Virgini as does Moseler with the addition of an S at the end. A further point for consideration is that the original title page from the 1610 edition also spells it Virgini. Any linguists out there?

E' la bellissima musica per la Santissima Vergine Maria, Madre di Dio!

I love the woman on the left at 0:51. If only we could all take such delight in our professions!

[Symphorch]

Which part is Deus in Adjutorium?

[whiskeyandfeet]

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and beg and plead my way into the choir for this performance/recording. It's the benchmark, if for no other reason than the environs.
